# Crave

> Crave is a free iPhone and iPad app for couples and friend groups to keep one shared, private list of restaurants they want to try, rate the ones they've been to together, and settle "where do you want to eat?" with The Spin, which picks a random spot from the list.

## What it does

- **Shared Cravelists.** A list for two, a household or a whole friend group. Anyone in the list can add a place and it shows up on everyone's phone right away.
- **Add any place in seconds.** Search restaurants, cafés, bars, bakeries and dessert spots, nearby first, or share a place to Crave straight from Apple Maps or Google Maps.
- **Rate it together.** After a visit each member scores it from 1 to 10 and can add a review and photos. Crave shows the group's average; places averaging 9.0 or more are marked MUST.
- **The Spin.** Picks a random place from the list, optionally narrowed by cuisine or to places open right now. Nostalgia mode picks from places already tried and loved.
- **Tonight.** A card at the top of the list to spin for the group or see only what's open now, with closing times.
- **Culinary Passport.** A map of every place tried, with counts of places, cities and countries.

## How it's different

Crave is private by design. There are no public profiles, feeds or rankings: only members of a list see its places, scores and reviews. Friends join with a short invite code or link. Scores come from people whose taste you know, not strangers or sponsored listings. Apps like Beli, Yelp or Google Maps are built around public reviews and personal rankings; Crave is built around one group deciding together.
